Why is acid-base balance, especially in the digestive tract, so important, for chronic digestive patients?

In contrast to our blood in a minimal range of values ​​(of a weak alkaline environment) in the digestive system, there are very high acid-base gaps. The saliva is usually neutral, with a tendency to slight acidity. The stomach is particularly acidic (PH 1-2) due to the need to break down food. Bile produced in the liver and excreted into the duodenum through the gallbladder while eating greasy foods is alkaline (PH 9-10). Bile duct obstructions may cause high acidity in the gastrointestinal tract. High gastrointestinal acidity is a widespread phenomenon that has far-reaching effects on the immune system. Pathogens always present in the gut tend to thrive in an acidic environment.
